DRIVE SPEED CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT
WARNING!
Entanglement Hazard – Use caution
when performing the speed control cable adjustment.
The speed control lever is connected to two cables
that work in tandem to control machine speed and
direction. As the speed control lever is moved from
forward to reverse gears (right to left) one cable is
pulled and one is pushed.
Depending on if the cable setting towards forward or
reverse, adjustment of the cables will vary.
To adjust the cables, one cable should be moved up and
the other down equally in their respective brackets until
there is a positive direction change when the lever is
shifted between F1 and R1. The middle position between
these two settings is neutral (there is no actual neutral
"notched" position on the control panel).
1.
With the engine running engage the drive control handle and move the speed control lever
between 1 and R1 to determine which way the cables need to be adjusted. Release the
drive control handle when shifting between gears.
2.
Loosen the jam nuts on each cable (only one or two threads) and move each cable up and
down as required until a positive direction change is achieved when the lever is shifted
between F1 and R1. This may take multiple attempts to find the exact setting.
3.
Tighten the cable jam nuts once the proper setting has been achieved.
